The
curse of Bella Vista is striking again! We have 4 Hermanas in our ward and all
of us have been hit by something this week. Remember the six day sickness that
we had a couple weeks ago? Hermana Tate got that again. My companion was out
for a day, and Hermana Brown is next. I've been feeling on the verge of getting
sick again, so hopefully that doesn't happen. The Elders seem to be doing just
fine, so that's good! Only two of them have gotten sick in the last 4 weeks. I
can't tell you how weird it is two know that this transfer is almost over. I remember
when I used to say I have 4 transfers left, but it's just going down way too
fast!
Despite
the curse in this ward, we are still working as hard as we can. This week we
picked up a new investigator! Her name is Xiomara and she is from Peru. She
will only be here until January, but her cousin who she's here to visit is a
member of the Sudley ward. She's
super awesome. She's been to church before, and she knows a bunch of missionaries and dated a Mormon once until he went on his mission. So basically, we just have to teach her the lessons and she is going to be baptized soon :) so we are so excited for that! She is so excited
for us to come over and teach her more.

On
Monday night we had a family home evening at Bishop's house and Sindi got to
come with us! She had her 14th birthday on Sunday and we got to celebrate a
little bit with her. Things are looking good. She's getting closer to being
baptized, she just keeps talking to her mom about it :) At one point during the
night, Obispo was talking to her about the high schools and their mascots and
he got talking about highlanders and how he didn't understand why that was a
mascot and that it was weird....and then he asked the missionaries what their
high school mascots were and we got a good laugh when I mentioned that I was a Royal Highlander :).

We
went on a couple mini exchanges this week. Hermana Brown is going home at the
end of the transfer, but her companion has been pretty sick and unable to work
for a bit, so one night we left our companions to take care of each other and
we went out and worked all night and it was so fun! We wanted to make sure that
in the last few weeks she doesn't feel left out and like she could have done
more with her companion being unable to do anything. The next time we did it, I
stayed home with Hermana Tate because I wasn't feeling too good. Good
news, we are all feeling a little bit better today!

MLC
this week was amazing as usual. President Huntsman is an amazing man and I
learn so much from him. That day we could really see how much he cares about us
because he was making sure to tell us he wanted more contact with each set of
zone leaders and sister training leaders because he wants to know the
missionaries better and what they need. He has so much love for us already and
he inspires us all!
On
Saturday we attempted another sports activity like the one that we had a couple
weeks ago, but it wasn't announced due to stake conference, so it ended up
being more like a correlation meeting between missionaries and the ward mission
leaders. But it was fun while we were there for 30 minutes!
That
night we finally found a less active that we have been looking for for a long
time. It was a miracle because she came to church yesterday and we are planning
to teach her son Anthony and then baptize him in a few weeks. He has been 8 for
a few months now, he
just needs to come to church!

A
couple more funny things. One night this week I was out with Hermana Brown and
I asked her, "Can you believe tomorrow's already Thursday?" And she
says, "No, because tomorrow is Friday." Also, we were on the phone
with the elders and before they hung up, Elder Porter said, "Feel better,
it's a commandment!"
I
hope you all have a great week! Please continue to pray for my investigators!
Some are so close to making the first covenant with God, they just need a
little bit more help. Pray is so powerful and it can make the difference. Just
like the experience that Alma the younger had. The angel appeared to him
because of the prayers of the righteous members of the church. Love you!
